An Immense Scroll Saw.

There is man in the Sea Beach
Palace exposition on Coney Island who
works out the most delicate articles
with band saw nineteen feet long
and revolving atthe rate of over mile
minute. Upon this immense ma
chine the skilled operator in my pres
ence sawed out four chairs, all COM
plete with legs and backs, but so small
that the four were placed on the end
OF a lead pencil at one time. Then a
dozen knives and forks of the most
diminutive size were made and placed
around the lead pencil. SO small were
they that although the entire dozen
were placed round the pencil not one of
them touched the other. Then the op-
orator trimmed his finger nails on the
huge saw as clcyerly and as easily as
one could do it with penknife. Wet
ting his thumb, he pressed the ball of
it into some sawdust, and then sawed
the sawdust off the thumb without
scratching the skin, yet single ner-
vous twitch of the arm would have cost
him a hand. All sorts of curious puz-
zles are turned out with astonishing
rapidity from all sorts of misshapen
blocks of wood. Even articles of cloth
ing as thin and flexible as cloth are
worked out by this magician from little
pieces of wood with his big saw. The
cap, he works was sawed out of over
1000 pieces of wood, no two of which
are the same SIZE or shape. - Brooklyn

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

The journey of the President at the
time when many Republicans are tryi,,0
hard to arouse the bitterness of sectional feel.
aaJ ana to controt politics By the passions OF
me ,'cdr, will present suggestive con-
trast. He represents the new Union of
common interests and purposes and de-
slres, and among them the speediest
practicable dismissal of the controversies
OF the old Union. He represents the de-
sire ofthe country for tranquil and honest
government, watched, as he says of him
sell, with scrutiny to which no recent
President had been submitted. He
represents the epoch of happy transition
from the old to the new, and the general
feeling OF goodwill which is the prevail
ing sentiment OF the country. 1t is un-
fortunate that the contrast should be in
voked between the significance of such
representative and that of the sectional
effort. Practically those who lead that
effort assert that the President is going
into the Southern States to propitiate the
rebels, that he betrayed his symnathv
with treason and rebellion by the order
to return the rebel flags that he has
called rebels into his Cabinet, and that
ne knows that he must owe his re-elec-
ton to the votes of rebels. This Is
1cretcI'ed business for intelligent Republicans.
Not one such man who resorts to such
desperate appeals believes that the Presi-
dent is rebel, or consorts with rebels.
or has any more sympathy with rebellion
than General SHERMAN or General SITER-
.IDAH, or Mr.. BLAINE or Governor FoR.

At a time whHn Virginia an | Massa-
chuSetts veterans were fraternzng, when
ut Cfettys 'urg the boys in blue and the
boys IN gray were clasping honest hands
OF congratulation as fellow-citizens for
ever the President acquiesced in the
suggestion to return to Confederate
veterans the tokens not of ANYTHING
gained in the war, but of some parficular
tight which helped to achieve the great |
result and in which, whatever the event |
OF that fight, the heroism of both sides
was unqnestioned. This is not a thing
tor which, the patriot soldiers in New
England or Pennsylvania would adiudge
any man unworthy of the Presidency,
OF the two, which will seem to thought
full American the surer guarantee of |
national peace and prosperity, the spirit !
which the President will represent in his
tour, or that OF those who make a ma
tlonal issue OF the flag order ?-Harper's

THE STATE CONTRACT.
April. 10 1857

The APPEAL is Informed that
Mr.. Drury will shortly refund the
$500 10 the State Carson APPEAL
Mr.. Drury is not aware that he is
indebted to the State in the sum of
$500, or any other sum. 1t be is be
will pay it.-Journal.
Mr.. Drury must certainly by this
time be aware that he as State Of
ficer had no right under section l.
ITO of the Compiled Laws to be-
come interested in a State contract.
His friends have always claimed
that he would refund the money as
be acted in ignorance of the Law.
The above from the Reno jour
nal would seem to indicate that he
considers the transaction all right,
that is if the above paragraph was
printed with Mr.. Drury's knowledge
and consent.
At the last session Of the Legis-
lature the Attorney General was
ordered to investigate and proceed
upon all such violations of the law.
What his action has been has not
as yet been made public.
During the session bill was pro-
posed amending Section ITO, so
that deputy State officer who took
State contracts could be included
in the law. The bill was drawn up
to prevent a repetition of the Drury
case. Good lawyers, however,
agreed that the insertion of the
word deputy" in the second line of
the law, so as to read, State of
fcers and deputy State officers
was not necessary. as recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court classed
all who drew a regular salary, and
for whom an appropriation was
made, as State officers.
1t is generally believed that when
Mr. Drury sees the matter in its
true legal light he will do the grace
ful thing by returning the amount /,
he drew.

MILWAUKEE, November q. - The

Brewery refused this morning to ham
die any more malt for the Commission
Malt House. The union men declare
that they will force a general lockout

calling upon the workingmen to boy

Rice,s Complaints Against Dis

WASHINGTON, November 81. The In

Standard oil cases. These are the COM
plants of George Rice, Of Murietta,
Ohio, against number Of railroads
alleging discrimination in favor of the
Standard Oil Company; against viola
tions of the long and short haul pro-
visions, and against all unreasonable
and unjust rates. The proceedings are
likely to consume several days.

The complaint and reply of the
Louisville and Nashville road were
read. The company makes general
denial of the unreasonable charges
and violation of the long and short
haul provisions. The alleged dis
elimination isexplained by the theory
that the Standard Company furnishes
its own tank cars, while the

cars, thereby creating q
